We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A great value bungalow with scope to make it your own, in a popular and convenient village, with it's own garage and driveway adjoining the rear garden.
The Property This attractive semi-detached bungalow is offered to the market with no onward chain, presenting an excellent opportunity for those seeking comfortable single-level living in a pleasant and affordable village setting.
While there is potential to personalise and update the property to suit individual tastes, it already benefits from solar pv panels to help reduce electricity costs, along with replacement double-glazed windows in the bedrooms and bathroom installed during 2024/2025.
To the rear, a delightful garden provides the perfect space for keen gardeners without the burden of extensive upkeep, while a private garage and driveway are conveniently located immediately adjacent to the garden.
Accommodation The property offers a bright and welcoming interior, with a uPVC double-glazed front door and matching side panel allowing plenty of natural light to flow into the open-plan kitchen/dining area.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of oak-effect units and complementary worktops incorporating a sink unit, with space provided for an electric cooker, upright fridge freezer and washing machine.
The generously proportioned sitting room enjoys views over the front garden and leads to an inner lobby, where an airing cupboard houses the hot water cylinder and useful shelving.
The bathroom is fitted with a neutral-coloured suite comprising a panelled bath with electric shower over, WC and wash hand basin.
Completing the accommodation are two double bedrooms positioned at the rear of the property, both enjoying pleasant views over the garden.
Outside The property is approached via its own lawned front garden, with a short flight of shallow concrete steps leading to the front entrance.
A gated side access provides a pathway along the side of the bungalow, where a lean-to porch/greenhouse offers a practical covered space with access from both ends and convenient proximity to the kitchen door.
There is also a handy outside tap. To the rear, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, creating an easy-to-maintain outdoor space.
A private garage is situated immediately beside the rear gate, with adjacent driveway. In addition, a timber garden shed is located behind the garage and can be accessed from within the garden.
